Information You Need Prior to Installation on z/OS

The Open Data Hub for Mainframe server is installed by downloading the installation file from the eDelivery site at:

https://edelivery.tibco.com/storefront/index.ep

Once the desired file is downloaded, and if necessary, transferred to the actual machine where the installation will occur and into a temporary working directory, untar the .tar file.

More specifically, change directory (cd) to the temporary directory and issue the following command, where the actual .tar file name is the full file name that was downloaded.

tar -xvf IBI_wf-rs_*.tar

After extraction, proceed with the instructions in the following topics.

The process for a full download is similar. A main directory is created on the desktop with multiple directories and subdirectories. Simply find the applicable IBI_wf-rs_*.* file from the download, transfer, and extract, as previously noted.

You need a server administrator user ID, referred to as iadmin in the remainder of this chapter.

• The operating system ID you use when installing the server owns the server files and is the default server administrator for OPSYS mode. You can create a new operating system ID to run and own the server files, or use any ordinary (non-superuser) ID. However, you should not install the server as root.

The server has an email notification feature that requires SMTP mail server information. You can enter these parameters either during installation, or later using the WebFOCUS® Reporting Server browser interface Administration tool.
